I have an Intel Mac running XP on a partition using VMware Fusion. Has anyone tried this and how did it work?

I originally had a problem running some XP games in Vista. I finally found the answer on an Electronic Arts website. If having problems:1) find the .exe file in the game directory using Windows explorer2)right click it and click properties3)Click the Compatibility tab4) check the box run as compatible with windows XP/service pack 2

HiI have recently bought a new Laptop which uses the Vista operating system. And so far have had no problems installing games. Many of the games I play are old 2005-7 and all seem to run no problems. Also newer games such as Age of Empires and Medieval Total War II are running well under Vista

I checked Creative's website for any Xp drivers. I only found drivers for Windows 7 & 8. I'm running Vista 64-bit & there are drivers for that version of Windows. Here's a sad reality: Microsoft has been steadily pulling the plug on Xp, so hardware companies, and the software they write, are tailoring their products towards Windows 7 & 8.

It works with Windows 7 - 32 & 64 bit, Windows XP, Window 8... I haven't tried it with Vista, but I have no doubts that it will work just fine.

Yes, according to the packaging it works with XP, Vista and Win7. I've had no issues using it with my Win8.1 PC's. Very nice device.

Thank you for telling me I should install Windows 7 Professional. If that's the case, then why does the text for the product say that it works with Vista and XP?

I've only used it with Win7 and Vista, but there's nothing that jumped out at me that suggested it shouldn't work with XP. It should be noted though that it's slow and barely functional on all versions of Windows - it's just poorly written software period.

I installed the game on Windows Vista, and it worked. I'm sure it will work on Windows 7 as well. I heard that some people had trouble getting the game to work on Vista, and if that happens, contact SecuROM. They can email you a new .exe file. The main reason the game does not work on newer operating systems is because of the .exe (executable file, the one you click on to start the game). SecuROM will ask for a proof purchase, and once you provide it, they can rewrite the .exe file and email it to you. Otherwise, I'm sure you can find the rewritten one somewhere online and download it. Good luck! I installed the game on Windows Vista, and it worked. I'm sure it will work on Windows 7 as well.

I really don't know, I do know it works on Vista, though I currently not gotten it reinstalled when I had to reinstall Vista over a year ago. I would imagine it might install on Win7 and work fine, unless there is a significant difference internally between Vista and Win7. I should note that I often played it on a standard aspect ratio monitor instead of my widescreen monitor (in dual screen mode) and it did fine. After all, it IS a Microsoft product so getting it to work on later OS may be easier than some others if you have issues initially as there is a make compatible mode for such older programs in newer OS'.

I updated my Dell Vista PC to Windows 8 and it works great ! Not sure if it is compatible with Vista though.

No. This game requires DirectX 11, which as far as I know only works on Windows 7 or above. XP is 12 years old and no longer supported.

I have Windows XP on my PC and Windows 7 on my laptop. Both work just great.

I'm not sure if it is compatible with vista, but I know it works with XP. I sold many pieces to school teachers, they love it.

It works with Windows XP Pro, I don't see anywhere that says on the disc that it works only with specific versions, although I didn't get the box. It is a great game, & if it doesn't, u can ask Amazon to exchange it or issue you credit. It's a win-win situation.
